Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is set to present her ninth consecutive Budget in Parliament today at 11:00 AM.
The focus is expected to be on boosting GDP growth, generating jobs, increasing infrastructure spending, and reforming the import-export framework, while maintaining fiscal discipline.
The common taxpayer may see higher standard deductions and the introduction of joint ITR filing for couples. Fiscal consolidation remains a priority, with attention on India’s debt-to-GDP ratio.
